I am a day behind but want to document our final days before the present. Sitting in Porto now, having said goodbye to our wonderful Braga 'family'. Our last 2 work days were very productive & we saw the completion of our goals..septic (done ),concrete floor (done ), parging undercoat (done ) & added as a bonus the patio was poured. Also, roofing mostly completed. Our last day was bitter sweet as we lunched with Maria(mom), Bernardino (chief of work and dance), Angelo(floor master and cheeky entertainer :-) ), Soria(daughter and cake baker), Thiagu(son and 2nd in command), Juan (one of our wonderful, awesome Habitat affiliates ) and of course Jose our chatty and skilled bus driver. Our great Canadian +1 (Brandi from California ) team gelled in record time and we often felt we knew each other for months vs.days. We were like-minded, goal driven, straight shooting people dropped in the middle of a big job and got it done with efficiency, laughter and (IMHO) skill. Our last night in Braga was quite celebratory as we burnt the remainder of our energy on fun. My next words are for the team. ...sorry to others they won't mean anything to you. It's now or never, we aren't going to live forever, we had the time of our lives and THAT'S what she said. xo
